Affected: DataDog guarddog

GuardDog is a CLI tool to identify malicious PyPI packages. Versions prior to 0.1.5 are vulnerable to Relative Path Traversal when scanning a specially-crafted local PyPI package. Running GuardDog against a specially-crafted package can allow an attacker to write an arbitrary file on the machine where GuardDog is executed due to a path traversal vulnerability when extracting the .tar.gz file of the package being scanned, which exists by design in the tarfile.TarFile.extractall function. This issue is patched in version 0.1.5.

 https://cve.radiocsirt.org/vuln/ghsa-rp2v-v467-q9vq GHSA-rp2v-v467-q9vq — GuardDog vulnerable to arbitrary file write when scanning a specially-crafted PyPI package 2026-10-03T04:09:45.869965+00:00

Affected: PyPI: guarddog

### Impact

Running GuardDog against a specially-crafted package can allow an attacker to write an arbitrary file on the machine where GuardDog is executed.

This is due to a path traversal vulnerability when extracting the `.tar.gz` file of the package being scanned, which exists by design in the `tarfile.TarFile.extractall` function. See also https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarfile.TarFile.extractall

### Remediation

Upgrade to GuardDog v0.1.5 or more recent.
